Chapter 477 - 327: Overwhelming the Yin Yang Holy Palace!_2
This was quite intriguing.
Zi Liyuan didn’t think much of it at that moment but instead with a grand wave of his hand, the undead army began another hunt.
After emerging from the Dog Emperor’s palace, the undead army had rested for an hour, especially since Zi Liyuan had sent them to the Castle of the Undead for recuperation.
With the endless supply of death energy within the Castle of the Undead, the undead army, which had been severely damaged, had almost completely recovered.
Of course, the zombie corps and the skeleton army hadn’t recovered yet, but the rest of the powerful corps had almost returned to their former state, and they were ready to continue the fight without any issues.
The Spectral Dragons still dominated the skies, hunting the many Shikigami that flew through the air.
On the ground, the Legion of the Fear Knight King still acted as the main force, galloping in formation, sweeping across and crushing all enemies in their path.
The epic beasts served as the vanguard, specifically charging at those Epic Boss Shikigami.
The Spider Queen weaved through the battlefield, leaving behind only numerous souls with her blade; they turned into materials for the Blood Lake in the sky.
Zi Liyuan, holding Dailisi, rode a turtle, and was accompanied by Lao Tie, his bouncer and bodyguard.
With Li Fengwen and others holding off the enemies in the Onmyoji’s sacred palace, Zi Liyuan’s involvement was akin to a leisurely stroll, bulldozing through with ease.
The same old routine applied wherever he went; everything was to be smashed, and he wouldn’t stop until it was turned into complete ruins!
Lord Zi’s policy of ’kill all, loot all, burn all’ was brilliantly executed.
Wherever the undead army passed, all that was left was ruins.
No one could withstand the undead army that knew no fear of death!
Death was the ultimate fate of this massacre.
With Lord Zi leading the undead army into battle, the scales of victory almost immediately tipped in favor of Li Fengwen and his side.
"Little Yuan has arrived? It seems you’ve completely conquered the Dog Emperor’s palace. Did you manage to cut off the Dog Emperor’s head?"
With a horizontal slash of her halberd, Liu Shengnan cleared away a group of Epic Boss Shikigami that surrounded her and then distractedly asked.
"Not just the head, I sliced his body into strips, ready to be made into souvenirs for the Great Xia officials."
Stay updated through empire
Observing how Liu Shengnan easily faced 20 adversaries by herself, Lord Zi gained a clearer understanding of her strength.
"Hahaha, Brother Zi, well done! When we get back, Zhu Wu will treat you to the palace’s jade liquid wine!"
Elsewhere, Zhu Wu cleaved a Shikigami with his axe, scattering its soul to the winds. He laughed heartily, and the evil Qi on his body became even denser and heavier.
"A hundred and eighty-one a glass?"
"What’s that now?"
Zhu Wu looked puzzled as he dodged an ambush from a Shikigami, flipping around to swing his axe and send it flying.
"Never mind, I’m looking forward to your good wine; just make sure you don’t skimp on me with some watered-down stuff."
Lord Zi swiftly changed the subject.
"That’s impossible. My jade liquid wine is a special product of the ancient Ming Dynasty’s imperial family, a treasure that’s hard to come by, and I usually can’t bear to drink it."
"Damn it! You stingy ol’ Zhu, you’re never willing to share even a glass with me, but when Zi Liyuan shows up, you’re ready to bring it out."
"Damn it, your Tuanzi is nothing but a drunken panda. Last time it ruined a whole jar of my jade liquid wine, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet!"
Just thinking about it enraged Zhu Wu, his axe becoming a blur as he swung wildly, chopping and smashing the surrounding Shikigami, sending them scurrying in fear.
Ah, the familiar scene, these unreliable members of the four great royal families. They really are strong, but their unreliability is just as real.
"Where is Sister Ying? Why don’t I see her?"
As he directed the undead army to clean up and ease their pressure, Zi Liyuan slowly inquired.
"No idea where, but she went inside the Onmyoji’s sacred palace, said she was going to trouble Xu Fu."
Zi Liyuan: (⊙o⊙)???
"No, didn’t the information from Dragon Academy say that Xu Fu died a long time ago? And he was cursed to death by some kind of curse within the Sea of Realms."
"Without seeing the body in life or dead, how can you prove that he is indeed dead?"
Zhu Wu interjected.
"Can such an old schemer be killed by a curse? Don’t forget, he is also someone who returned from the Sea of Realms."
Li Fengwen rolled his eyes.
It should be noted that many pieces of intelligence can first be obtained by the four royal families.
For example, the news of Xu Fu’s death, that the Great Xia Empire got, was that Xu Fu had already died.
But within the winning royal family, some have means, especially since Xu Fu defected from the ancient Qin Empire, naturally, there is a way to investigate whether he is alive or dead.
"Ying Sister said that Xu Fu did not die, that initially, it was just a fake death to escape. Now, he is still hiding in the Onmyoji Holy Palace, and this time she came to slay this traitor."
Liu Shengnan, with the help of a bunch of Spectral Dragons, had just slain three epic-level Shikigami, then sat atop the head of a Spectral Dragon to rest and said.
"So that’s how it is, but are you sure Ying Sister can handle such an old schemer from the Sea of Realms all by herself?"
These four people are indeed very strong; if Zi Liyuan didn’t summon the Undead Army, they probably wouldn’t be able to handle them head-on.
But he also didn’t dare to face someone like Xu Fu, an old schemer who had returned from the Sea of Realms, alone; who knows what kind of ace he holds in his sleeve.
If something goes wrong and he gets silently taken out by the opponent, to whom can he complain?
"Don’t worry, Ying Sister is exceedingly clever, and no one in the Onmyoji Holy Palace can stop her."
As Liu Shengnan spoke, she threw her halberd out of her hand, turning it into a streak of light, plunging into the spirit of a Shikigami; the next moment, it exploded with terrifying evil Qi, instantly dispersing the Shikigami’s spirit.
"Okay, I will help you guys quickly get rid of these little ghosts first, then go in to find Ying Sister."
Zi Liyuan nodded, and then began to call out names one by one.
Undead spells, Dead Spirit spells, Dark Magic, one after the other swiftly took shape in his hands and then were cast out in swathes.
With his current magic damage, plus Level 25 skill level, even the most worthless skill can deal high damage.
Those from the Onmyoji Holy Palace entangled with the Undead Army who were ambushed by him, would be hit every single time.
Especially the powerful spells like "Death Dark Arrow," "Shadow Arrow Rain," "Bone Spear," "Spear of Death," "Poison Spear," "Toxic Storm"...
There’s no need to use the Corpse Explosion Technique to clear the field; these powerful spells can essentially guarantee instant death for anyone who gets hit.
Even the Onmyoji from the Holy Palace who are Fourth Order experts couldn’t withstand the terrifying speed and power of Zi Liyuan’s spellcasting.
Had he not been concerned about accidentally harming allies, Zi Liyuan would probably have directly cast a Minor Forbidden Spell to clear the field.
Watching others cast forbidden spells during the fight with the Dog Emperor, he felt quite eager himself.
However, he was currently still maintaining the "Undead Calamity" forbidden spell without interruption, and recklessly using another forbidden spell might lead to backlash. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With Zi Liyuan joining in, the speed of cleaning up the Onmyoji Holy Palace immediately increased manifold.
Especially for Zhu Wu and Liu Shengnan, who had epic behemoths, the Spider Queen, and Demon Spiders at the forefront, they could fully concentrate on their attacks.
One-on-one, with their full strength, they could quickly slay epic-level Shikigami.
Of course, this was thanks to the preparations made in advance, with various enchanted treasures that could inflict a multitude of damages on spectres.
It can be said that they could simply deal multiple times the damage to spectres with just their normal attacks; when skills were activated, the damage could increase four to five times, even more than tenfold!
This is also why they were able to take on twenty epic Boss-level Shikigami each just now.
Equipment suppression, item enhancements, power overwhelming, it was truly a one-sided fight.
And now, with Zi Liyuan’s Undead Army taking on the brunt of the attack, as they pierced in as the spearhead, quickly taking down the most powerful epic-level Shikigami, their rate of advancement suddenly saw a huge surge.
Of course, the Undead summoned by Lord Zi were himself not weak, especially the Spider Queen and the epic beasts.
The Spider Queen truly overpowered with strength; wherever she passed, there was not a single creature that could escape alive from under her Dual Blades.
